Summary The hearing has been adjourned till Wednesday.

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Supreme Court (SC) on Thursday has sought complete investigation report over Tayyaba torture case in three days.

The two-member bench headed by Chief Justice Mian Saqib Nisar heard the case.

Granting time to additional session judge’s wife Maheen Zafar, the court has ordered to submit reply till Wednesday.

DIG Police Islamabad has been directed to constitute a high level investigating committee and to present the minor maidservant and her real parents in next hearing. 

Earlier, new developments in the Tayyaba torture case had revealed that her real name was Sana, daughter of Nawaz. Sana had gone missing in 2014 from her home and then picked up by a group that supplied housemaids in return of money.

Kausar Bibi belonging to Moza Karam Kaathia village near Kamalia had claimed to be her mother.

In 2014, the girl was sent to the house of a person named Usama Shahzad on Jaranwala Road in Faisalabad in return of a few thousand rupees.

According to police sources, Usama Shahzad’s family later shifted the girl to a relative of theirs in Lahore. When the parents of the girl reported to police that she had been kidnapped, police refused to register the case. Upon police’s refusal, Kausar Bibi turned to Lahore High Court and thus a kidnapping case was registered in Faisalabad’s Sadar police station on February 25, 2015 under Section 363.

Police told that the relatives of the girl reconciled with the alleged offender in return of Rs 130,000 and stamp papers were formally submitted in the police station. Thus, the case ended on May 20, 2016.

On the other hand, Islamabad High Court (IHC) registrar has submitted the report on the subject before Supreme Court. Social workers have also filed petitions in the court.
